The Three Stages of Institutional Bitcoin Adoption

Описание: Michael Howe, Head of Strategy at Bitwise, Jos Lazet, founder and CEO of Blockrise, and Scott Ellam, founder and CEO of XCE Connected Excellence Group, join moderator Sam Roberts, Director of Investment Consulting at Cartwright Pension Trusts, on stage at Bitcoin Corporate Day 2026 in Prague to assess where corporate and institutional Bitcoin adoption really stands. The panel breaks down the shift from can we allocate to how do we allocate, the regulatory tailwinds from the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and MiCA, and Blockrise's same day announcement cutting custody fees to 0%. Scott explains how a profitable executive recruitment firm bought Bitcoin through an 80% drawdown, went public in late 2025, and now uses performance shares backed by its treasury to attract and retain revenue generating recruiters, plus a rollup playbook offering trapped business owners an exit. The conversation also covers the custody trade offs public companies face, the volatility objection that still stalls investment committees, and the honeymoon safari that turned the ex chairman of a top five British bank into a shareholder, before audience questions on Coinbase concentration risk, custody diversification under MiCA, and what it takes to make Bitcoin a normal board conversation.
